Most papers I have seen are difficult to replicate. And even if you were able to do so, there are patents. So paywall may be one of the issues but not the only one.
It all depends on the definition of input latency. The concept here is how much time it takes for a button press to show in image. 16ms equals 60Hz updates. Let me ignore the actual controller action to game logic latency. Most console games aim for 33ms updates. Add on top of that double or triple buffering or any modern sort of VSync. Add to that that most TVs include some postprocessing pipeline that takes around 100ms when you do not have game mode on.
As a side note, I remember Forza Motorsport 1 or 2 claiming their game code updated at 300Hz or so even if the render path was running at the slower 60Hz. The thing is, you cannot tell how much time it took for the game logic to show on your screen.
Even 1ct is expensive to the big fish. Manuals are not included in the box these days. Heck, even Destiny for PC did not include any disk, just a download code.
Some of them already flopped. Sony is still insisting on Playstation Now and the PS4 allows you have somebody else to play the game you are playing through the internet. Steam, Playstation and Xbox allow to stream inside your local network and from what I gather it is OK.
I do not get how Rovio can make remote gaming work over a mobile network that is used by mobile phones. Heck, most console games expect you to have a large TV so reading text might become a challenge.
When I read the article in question, I saw an update that it was not clear whether this was the final game size (90GB) or the patch download size (50GB).
In any case, large patches on first day have been a norm for a while. 50 GBs is a lot for just a code patch. Game assets need to be downloaded. I cannot tell whether the game on the disk is complete as this is an online only game. The reason I tell you about this is because of the Tony Hawks game disaster. You had to download a large game patch even when playing solo as the disk only had a tutorial and maybe a little bit of the rest of the game. The disk was just like a demo.
Sports are bad to encode because of the camera pan movement and the usual fast action of sports. Many broadcasters do not increase the bitrate for sports even if the broadcast will benefit from it. Add to the injury that many broadcasters use 1080i rather than 720p. Many TVs do deinterlacing bad. Images look OK on the news programme but any movement and details are blurred.
There are already known metrics, like PSNR and SSIM. The thing is, these metrics are used when you encode the videos from the raw material and there is a tradeoff between bitrate and the desired metric.
The only thing you can more or less do on the broadcast video is to identify encoding artifacts like macro blocks, mosquito noise and deinterlacing side effects. MPEG2 streams are easy to identify, H264 and H265 are slightly more difficult. I do not know of a package solution to this. Be aware of news stations that use low fi mobile feeds!

Without modification except for DRM (except GOG) and online services. Online services by the storefront may include hooks to your profile, manage friends and invites, provide voice and text chat. All of these are split the same as IM is at the moment: Facetime, Skype, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, Telegram and so on. Cross-platform gaming is also discouraged by company owners, at least on the consoles.
Online is important these days. Most people will not appreciate using basic services like Kali, IP addresses and IRC in order to get an online match. I do understand the Discord thing, though.
It is limited in that it does not sport the greatest hits of the 80s and the 90s, just some random movies. And the movies are in rotation, so things on your wishlist does disappear over time.
I wonder about how Microsoft ended up selling so many Surface thingies. Most everybody hated the manufacturing quality of Surface Pro 4. Botched firmware updates happened too, like the one this week that disables the touch screen and for which you need to send your computer for repairs. What did the other companies do that let Microsoft take 5th position?
Market seems segmented at (a) high end phones with fairly large screens (5.5" or larger) and (b) cheap phones with "small" screens and/or low screen resolution. You cannot get a phone with a screen like the Nexus 5 anymore. The Sony compact series may be the only ones that kind of get you that screen but you pay for the premium. Also, be aware that Sony may get out of the mobile phone business like it did with its laptops. Sony is not selling a lot of phones these days.
Lucky you. My Nexus 5 is showing the first effects of malfunction of the power button and has lost one of the two loudspeakers already. I have not factory reset for a while and it shows how fast if becomes unresponsive after a reboot.
Still, no other mid range phone at the 300 USD range does have such a nice screen at this size.

FBI tells us that encryption is for terrorists, DARPA tells us that encryption is for everyone. Are we all terrorists now?
A relatively simple app is not updated in months = it has been abandoned
At home, I do not have any incentive to go to Linux.

I read a comment how BluRays disks can only carry 50GBs. Instead of pressing two disks (BluRays are expensive), you have to download the second disk.
In any case, large patches on first day have been a norm for a while. 50 GBs is a lot for just a code patch. Game assets need to be downloaded.

Count me in. Chrome does not work well on RHEL6. However, I try to avoid non corporate websites so hopefully I am OK with regards this bug.

How should I connect to motherless for my daily dose of bestiality?
Google decided to close Google Plus instead of patching a similar issue. It was not a leak because nobody knew it had been exploited, same as here.
Note: I am not a big fan of series.
I dare you do a quick search on the internet about "byte".
And I would have to move to Suse. Otherwise I will not get support for the EDA software.

Sorry, my mistake about the loudspeaker. Still, the thing about the reliability of the power button remains as a known issue.
Front cameras are just for cutesy stuff
Front cameras are for selfies and for showing how well you are applying your lipstick. Some people even use such advanced technology as video chat.

And where do you get the guide to troubleshoot "screen does not turn on"?
